Like human babies, puppies are born helpless; however, they grow up much quicker than us. Your puppy should be ready to start training as early as 8 weeks of age.
Ideally, they should be with their mother until 8 weeks of age, or slightly longer if possible. 'Potty training' can also begin at 8 weeks, and is obviously one of the most important processes for dog owners!
They can start simple training as soon as they arrive home, although it's best to keep it brief at first, and to always keep it positive. The first of the senses puppies develop is their sense of touch. They reach their full size between 12 to 24 months and smaller dog breeds mature faster than larger ones.

We also have classes available in Hampshire, along with 1-1 behaviour counselling available.
